I suddenly feel less alone. Very few of my real life friends had as many orthodontist visits as I did. :) Matt - Good movies, eh? :) Unfortunately I never ended up watching any of those ones. Oh well. Jared - Boo hoo for you ;) Laurie - Oh my gosh! It was painful even to read that story! No, I'm sure nothing I went through this week was that bad. OUCH.

When the orthodontist told me I wouldn't have to have braces or a retainer- [{(EVER)}] -I cried for days. I was devastated. Haha... I'm just playin. I've to have all 4 wrenched out sometime. The doc did mention the possibility that they would settle in fine though... ;) And hey, I saw you up and around at the fair yesterday so you've gotta be feeling better by now, yeah? As long as you don't die you'll be fine. When are we going to get to see the pictures that you took at the fair?

Hope you aren't drooling too much. ;) Very good movie selection as well. Ah the joy of having wisdom teeth out, good times. Hope you aren’t drooling too much. ;)

Just one doesn't lead to much swelling, so you could still make out my facial features. Plus, I was bored. I didn't watch many movies like I'd anticipated. In fact, I mostly just laid in bed doing nothing. I had all the appliances you did, plus I got my twelve-year molars removed several years before my wisdom tooth came out, so I'd say we're about even. Except for, you know, one versus four :P Hope you feel better soon. I probably wouldn’t have posted that photo had I had all four out.

I'm so glad that it went half-way well for you. I thought about calling you yesterday but figured that all I would hear is a few slurry mumbled jumbled words, and then... you would fall asleep on the phone. What good would that phone call do anyone? Anyway, I'm happy for you. You are now minus four pesky teeth. Congrats! Much love. Well, Erin! I’m so glad that it went half-way well for you.

They attached a bracket and a gold chain to that tooth once exposed and began slowly taking links out of the chain over the next few months, to move it into place. So the point of this obnoxiously long comment is to say I have felt your pain. The end.)
